Happy Thursday!!!!!!!!!! July 18,2008

Hey all, I hope this e-mail finds you well. This summer has been a good one for me so far (mainly due to great summer movies!!!!) Creativity is a funny thing, it comes out of no where like an itch that is hard to reach and it will drive you crazy until you do something about it. That's where I'm at with mine. I've been doing a lot of behind the scenes stuff with my art (the unglamorous part) and now I starting my implementation phase (the actual brush to canvas part)so I'm very excited I've been sketching down ideas for the past couple of months so be looking out for a new wave of work from me soon! I also want to let you know about Art and Soul 2008 this Labor Day weekend in Downtown Oakland (updated info. can be found on my site.) Thanks for the support and please pass my site along to people you feel will appreciate my type of art! Be well and don't forget to take care of yourself! J

Welcome

From time to time I get e-mails that turn out to be great discussions and figured this way they can be shared with our whole community! So if you have a comment about my work or have any questions about any of my work please post it here. Here I plan to post topic to hear what you all think as well. I really feel it's important to bridge the gap between artist and patron. I'm excited to see what's come from this! J

About the Artist

I am a visual artist from Vallejo CA. I’ve been creating art ever since I can remember. I first realized it was my calling when I was about the age of three and drew a mural on the kitchen wall in crayon. My mother walked by, saw my most recent work and to my surprise, I didn’t get in trouble. I’ve been creating art ever since.

Early on, my fascination with people has greatly influenced my art. I noticed that facial expressions as well as body language said just as much if not more than words. I made it my mission to include those complex emotions and expressions in my paintings.

In 1993 I went into the U.S Air Force and served for four years while stationed at Offutt Air Force Base in Omaha NE. During my time there I did several fine art shows, free-lance artwork for the U.S Air Force as well as for companies in Omaha. After being refused a transfer to a base closer to home, I decided not to re-enlist but to return home to dedicate more time to family and art.

I’m currently working on a new body of work and loving that fact that I have the Bay Area as my backdrop. My artwork has been featured in Art Business News and has been shown throughout the U.S. including Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Chicago and New York.
